Chapter 380 The plan has just arrived

After speaking, he thought for a while, and then said: "What can make him look so moved, I think that in addition to the news that the alliance army continues to expand southward, there is only news from Yuzhang County."

And there is no trace of the movement of the army here so far, so it can't be news from the Allied Army, so I estimate that the secret letter was sent from Yuzhang County, and something big must have happened in Yuzhang County.

And it is most likely to be the news of Lin Shihong's condition, it is likely that Lin Shihong's condition has undergone serious changes, and it may even be critically ill. ”

"Yes, it's possible!"

Chen Zhi nodded in agreement, "The brothers in my battalion once said that Lin Shihong was shot in the chest by a sharp arrow in the battle against Liu Zixiang at the beginning of last year, so he was injured and his internal organs have not healed.

Moreover, in the battle with our allies for Yuhang County a few days ago, he was thrown to the ground by a frightened horse when he withdrew, which aggravated his condition, and he fell into a coma when he heard it. Later, after being treated by the accompanying doctor, although he woke up quickly, I heard that his condition did not improve. ”

"I've heard about it too! However, as for the news of Lin Shihong's illness at that time, Lin Rust was very tightly sealed, and he never mentioned it to us, and I was never sure whether this news was true or not! ”

Chen Zhi pondered for a moment and said: "There must be a reason for things to go wrong, if Lin Shihong's condition at that time was not much of a problem, they wouldn't need to block the news, I think the news should be true!"

In this way, Lin Ru should soon leave the barracks and return to Yuzhang County, most likely within one or two days. And at such a time, Lu Ping, as his number one military advisor, will definitely go with him at that time. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Zhi couldn't help but be a little excited, "Second brother, you go back to rest first, and I'll go back immediately to find a way to notify the family tonight and let them prepare to act on the road..."

……

As Chen Zhi expected, Lin Ru left the camp early the next morning and prepared to return to Yuyang County.

But the accompanying team was a little unexpected to him, not only Lu Ping's important henchmen, but even Chen Zhi was among them, and there were also 3,000 elite cavalry soldiers.

Yuzhang County, the seat of Yuzhang County.

Originally, a newly established county town, Yuzhang City, in addition to the vast area of the city, is not necessarily so majestic.

However, since Lin Shihong chose Yuzhang County as his nest, he has put a lot of effort into the construction of Yuzhang City. In the past three years, although the area of the city has not expanded, the surrounding walls have been completely renovated, and the walls are thicker and higher than before, and the level of defense of the city has more than doubled.

Looking at the city hundreds of steps away, Lin Rule stopped his horse, looked back at the three thousand cavalry behind him, and then looked at the surrounding terrain, and after a little thought, he ordered sharply: "The first and second teams of the pro-soldiers will enter the city with the general, and all the other soldiers will stay." The army camped along the south bank of the river for the time being, and General Liu Cheng was temporarily in charge. ”

As soon as this order came out, Liu Cheng's face changed slightly, and Chen Zhi did the same.

It seems that Lin Shihong's condition is really serious, otherwise Lin Rust would not have broken the precedent and increased the number of pro-soldiers who followed him into the city to the limit.

In fact, the number of the two teams of pro-soldiers combined is not much, and it is just over a hundred. And Lin Ru brought not a lot of soldiers this time, not to mention the 3,000 elite cavalry, just the personal soldiers who followed and protected him at all times exceeded 300 people.

However, as a nest, the most important thing is safety, in order to prevent some arrogant generals from making trouble in the city, Lin Shihong has long stipulated that no matter what the general enters the city, his entourage of personal soldiers and soldiers cannot exceed 100 people.

This regulation is open to all generals in the army, and not only other generals must strictly abide by it, but Lin Rust must also abide by it.

It is precisely because of this that when Lin Rust returned to Yuzhang City from the front line before, the entourage he led may not necessarily be less than this time, but he has always strictly abided by the rules, and the number of personal soldiers who followed him into the city would never exceed fifty.

And now, Lin Rust directly broke the precedent and increased the number of personal soldiers accompanying him into the city to the limit, which shows that he is really not at ease about the current situation in the city.

It also shows from the side that Lin Shihong's condition is really serious, so serious that it may have caused a big change in the city, and even Lin Rust has to be careful about his life at all times.

No wonder the soldiers he brought this time were all cavalry, and they were all the elites of his own lineage, so he was already prepared.

Before leaving, he must have discussed it with Lu Ping! Chen Zhi glanced at Lu Ping slightly, and made a conclusion in his heart.

"The last general obeys!" Liu Cheng didn't think much about it, and immediately answered the order.

Lin Ru nodded, thought for a while, and said again: "Lu Ping, Chen Zhi, the two of you will enter the city with Ben General."

When he had said this, he said no more, and urged his horse to run straight to the city gate. Lu Ping and Chen Zhi hurriedly beat their horses to keep up, and the same was true of the two teams of pro-soldiers.

The palace is located in the center of the city, and the official road paved with stone slabs leads directly to the four city gates, so Lin Rust and the others are very fast, and in less than a quarter of an hour, they arrived in front of the palace gate.

Everyone jumped off the war horse, Lin Ru didn't give too many orders, and hurriedly walked into the palace with Lu Ping and Chen Zhi, while the relatives and soldiers consciously stayed in the front street of the palace.

At this time, a large group of people had been surrounded in front of the palace, including Lin Shihong's wife and concubine, as well as his civil and military generals, all of whom had heavy faces and haggard faces.

Of course, those civilian and military generals are all important henchmen of Lin Shihong. And Lin Zhen, the eldest son of Lin Shihong, was also among them, and standing with him was his second uncle Pharmacist Lin.

Lin Yaoshi, Lin Shihong's half-brother, had been leading the army to garrison in Panyu before, but because of the southward expansion of the allied army, Lin Shihong was worried that Xiao Mo in the north would take advantage of the fire to rob, so he transferred him to Yichun County half a year ago, and asked him to lead an army of 30,000 to defend the 50,000 Xiao Liang army in Changsha.

Seeing Lin Rust appear, Lin Zhen hurriedly stepped forward and greeted softly: "Second brother, you're finally back!"

"Big brother!"

Lin Rust greeted him, and said hello to his second uncle, Pharmacist Lin, but he didn't have time to say anything more, and asked Lin Zhen directly, "How is my father's body?"

“...”

Lin Zhen was just about to answer, but he seemed to remember something, glanced at Chen Zhi and the two who had been following Lin Rust, and then continued: "Father just woke up for a while, and at this time, Ah Niang was waiting to eat ginseng soup, but Father's body is very weak..."

As he was talking, his mother Lin Zheng walked out of the hall, and Lin Rust hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "The child greets the mother!" ”

"Rust is back!" Lin Zheng stepped forward to help him up, "Rusty don't need to be polite!" Come on in, the prince is waiting for you! ”

Lin Ru didn't say anything more, nodded and walked towards the palace...
